Yup! It was great meeting up with him today.

Yup that would be my truck. Had a great time getting the yota out for a shakedown run and meeting up with Andy and the guys. Awesome group to wheel with. I think I'll be wheeling with y'all from now on. Atleast no one broke anything major like the jeep guys usually do.

Got all the Christmas parts I ordered. Unfortunately, Sky sent me 2 right side frame tube jigs. No big deal, I won't be starting on Hoerunner 2.0 until next month earliest.

Thanks mang! Taking the 85 wheeling for possibly the last time this Saturday.

The '87 will recieve everything I put on the 85 and I will continue building it. Rear bumper with swing out, cage, etc. possibly links and engine swap in the distant future.

I had a great time at URE on Saturday. It rained for a bit which made it pretty fun, I didn't get many pics though. We ran Daniel, dickey bell, and then Dutch John after the sun went down.

The infamous Lurry

A buddy from tacomaworld.com with a really nice 1st gen double cab taco with fresh 35's

Hung out at the Lakehouse afterwards

 

[KidVermicious]

That poor blue taco - is he about ready to tube out that bed or what?

 

[ajohnson]

Lol, I'm not sure. He might as well.

Well, any progress?

Damn it's been a minute since I looked in here. Been really busy at work, Crappy weather, pinched a nerve in my neck which sucked. Have some free time this weekend though so I will finally get started on the '87. The good thing is I can take my time setting it up and still wheel the '85, then hopefully just swap all the parts in a couple week's free time when I am ready.

Haha! Yea nothing but mall crawling lately with the pinched nerve, I missed another trip to windrock. Should get on the trail in about a month though.

 

[ajohnson]

Just chillin waiting for some lovin. Might not get so crazy with stickers on this one.

 

[ajohnson]

Finally got the '87 moved into place with my GF's help. Pulled up my the steep driveway with '85 into my backyard, then push, pulled and winched it to its spot with the 85 and the Tacoma.

Found $13 in the ashtray

Oh god my eyes. Please tell me you're going to swap interiors.

Hell no!!! I love the red interior.

 

[Robmills72]

Why are you swapping everything over?
